Bawden Rocks

Crams Rocks - St Agnes Head These rocks straggle out seaward from St Agnes Head on the north Cornish coast. On the map the area around them is marked as "Crams" but the writing is in blue, suggesting that this is a water rather than a land feature. Nevertheless these rocks are in the area called Crams.

Bawden Rocks is a small uninhabited island located off the coast of Cornwall in the United Kingdom. The island is known for its rugged and rocky terrain, with steep cliffs and jagged rocks jutting out of the sea. Bawden Rocks is a popular spot for birdwatchers, as it is home to a variety of seabirds including puffins, guillemots, and razorbills.

The island is only accessible by boat and is not suitable for landing due to the treacherous conditions of the surrounding waters. The rocky shores of Bawden Rocks are often battered by strong currents and waves, making it a dangerous area for inexperienced sailors.

Despite its remote location and challenging conditions, Bawden Rocks is a popular destination for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers looking to capture the beauty of the rugged coastline and the diverse bird population that calls the island home. Visitors to Bawden Rocks are advised to exercise caution and respect the natural environment to ensure the preservation of this unique and precious habitat.
